Friday 5s.

1.  Today I'm guest-posting for Jane.  She's (hopefully!) made her way to Ft. Carson, Colorado by now.   I'm sharing one of my favorite dinners: Thai Noodles.

2.  I don't make muffins very often, but my mother-in-law gave me this recipe 4 years ago and I make them each fall.  Now my mom makes them too.   They freeze really well and I've also shipped them to
Afghanistan.


Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

3.  Scott was looking through the camera, saw this failed picture from before the commandant reception last week, and he liked it. I thought the beep had gone off and, obviously, it hadn't yet.


Let me tell you what was happening in this picture.
Him: We're late.
Me: I want a picture like the one in Alaska.
Him: It's hot.
Me: Uh huh. 
Him: Another one?
Me: Documentation!

4.  Perhaps the biggest news of the week (and of the last 4 months) is that I landed a teaching job.  Unbelievable, right?!  I think so. I'm still in shock, to be honest.  And I'll have 22 second-graders come Monday morning, so I've got my work cut out for me.  You guys are so darn supportive. Thank you for all the tweets the other day!  Here goes nothing!

Also happening Monday...
5.  Are you wearing skirts or dresses yet?  Skirtember started earlier this week with the beginning of September.  Our first link-up is on Monday.  See you *there*!


I totally wore a dress yesterday (as well as all the other days this week), but I was so exhausted when I got home...no picture to be had.


And a bonus, because it's too cute not to share.  We were dog-sitting for some friends last weekend.  Their puppy, Duchess, wrote us a thank-you note.  


This is a Pin-worthy idea.

Happy weekend!
